Clean, Cozy, and Full of Charm

Absolutely loved my stay at The Black Lion Royal Hotel. The room and bathroom were spotless and clearly very well looked after. The people at the reception are incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The English breakfast was delicious and freshly made each morning. Plus, the hotel’s pub has such a cute, cozy vibe, perfect for a relaxing evening. Highly recommend!

Liked that it had a fan. Liked that they had a fire stick to connect to our streaming service. Didn’t like no AC. Didn’t like wallpaper peeling. Didn’t like noise from outside bathroom window.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The dining area was lovely, and the breakfast was small, but very good. The bar area was good and there was ample parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful, although the housekeeping team and waitresses would benefit from some training. The bed was very comfortable, but the bedroom was lacking the niceties. It was however, good value for money. Lampeter itself is very small, and I fear for it, with its loos of the University.

Ultra friendly staff!

The staff at this hotel were incredibly friendly. The rooms were comfortable and the food was good.. I could not recommend this place a more. The manager who I cannot remember the name of was such a friendly lady and even refunded one of our rooms without us asking as we had a late cancellation..
